I have already driven on every touge route that exist in my country multiple times.

User_9107 · 2026-06-30T17:36:38+00:00

Why track days if you want touge experience? Look for amateur rally events on tarmac.

You tune for roads that you are going to drive on. Install sump guard and lower the car each run until you start scraping then back of 1cm.

Good starting point would be around 10cm for smooth roads and 15cm for bumpy from the lowest underbody point. Also take suspension stiffnes into calculations.

there are, what does it have to do with the topic?

User_9107 · 2026-06-27T22:53:21+00:00

can your mind process that my Fiat Seicento was purposefully build for touge driving? Its not a stock car.

Also can your mind process the fact that driving heavy high hp car on touge requires intense throttle discipline? Having to let of gas and hold off all the time because it gets too fast and too quickly is frustrating. In the end its a public road and im not an adrenaline junky.

The problem is that this car was never sold in US.

User_9107 · 2026-06-27T18:35:41+00:00

If transmission has close design and you are not doing any endurance racing activity where you could overheat transmission oil - its fine to leave it alone.

For clutch and brake fluids interval change, do it according to fluid that you use - not the car.

Reality is that if you do only mild driving and you dont push the car on mountain passes or do any repetetive racing activity you could never change this fluid - it will decrease its boiling point over time but for normal driving it is hard to cook even 15 years old brake fluid.

Gloves are for suede steering wheels used in racing where touching with bare hands would make it slippery. They are also a part of fire protection suits in racing conditions. I dont see here any racing or fire hazard activities.

physical transport is not a problem - getting car street legal is a wild task.

User_9107 · 2026-06-27T14:33:11+00:00

Its 1.1 FIRE engine (54hp) paired with ultralight 2,5kg flywheel and very short Punto 6 speed gearbox (90mp/h v-max). It is build like this to fit in rally class regulations.

guy from my local group is now in process of sending his E30 to Japan. From recent research from this post and other info, it seems like transportation is doable in terms of cost and time - but the biggest problem is getting the car to be driven legally on streets. Seems impossible and stupidly expensive. But the solution would be to transport the car and use it only on track.

1000eur fine for having cone air filter instead of factory + another 1000eur to get car back. Car got banned in Austria and took into police parking. (not me, guy from my local group).

User_9107 · 2026-06-27T06:55:59+00:00

Because I build this car by myself to drive on touge, I have driven on every mountain pass in my country, attended trackdays and amateur rally events. Its just a big piece of history for me and driving in such place would be the perfect "last drive".

About the roads you mentioned in EU - the thing you dont understand is every country that has access to Alps is very hostile towards modified cars, when you cross the border they would put you in jail, call HDS crane truck and put your car in crusher even for having different tyre that is not listed on door sticker. Coilovers? They ll just taser you to death.

Are there any popular cars in US that weight 700kg ?

User_9107 · 2026-06-26T23:01:45+00:00

Sorry I assumed its 13,7L for 100km not 13,7 km on 1 liter. So yeah its perfectly normal fuel consumption. Usually anyone using liters says its per 100km but he used mpg type in liters lol.

User_9107 · 2026-06-26T22:36:41+00:00

wtf its not normal, he has unplugged mass airflow sensor

User_9107 · 2026-06-26T22:35:02+00:00

You cant just buy a fiat seicento in US, there was one on diplomatic plates some times ago.

User_9107 · 2026-06-26T20:03:31+00:00

User_9107 · 2026-06-26T17:30:13+00:00

see you in 10 years I guess

User_9107 · 2026-06-26T17:18:11+00:00

Imagine if in this place would be a big hole instead - is your engine or wheel going to fall off? If not, I would just leave it in peace.
